>Somewhere towards the end of the call, I asked them if it was okay to keep the emails. Why not at least ask, right? 

>Funny enough, in the middle of that question, my internet died and interrupted the call for the first time in the six months I lived in that house. Odd. It came back ten minutes later, and I dialed back into the conference line, but the mood of the call pretty much 180’d. They told me:

>1. All files were to be deleted.

>2. Seattle would hire Kroll to scan my hard drives to prove deletion

>3. Agreeing to #1 and #2 would give me full legal indemnification.

>This isn't something I'm even remotely cool with, so we ended the call a couple minutes later, and agreed to have our lawyers speak going forward.
